Open-Trench Sewer Replacement in Kodiak, AK

Traditional excavation is sometimes the best option, especially when the old line has a severe belly or the slope must be corrected. We dig along the line, remove the old pipe and set new PVC on compacted bedding at the correct grade. Rocky or hard-packed soil can slow digging, and we account for that in the estimate. Each joint is glued and checked before backfill. The inspector sees the open trench before we close it up.

To minimize disruption, trenchless sewer line replacement swaps out pipes without extensive digging. We offer pipe bursting, where a new pipe is pulled through the old one, fracturing the old pipe outward. This is a great fit when protecting landscaping or driveways is a priority. The method works well for many homes in Kodiak and can often be completed faster than traditional methods, using high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe known for its long life.

We only recommend it when the rest of the line is in good condition.
